From Myer Kutz, Editor, The Mechanical Engineer’s Handbook, Fourth Edition
“With this fourth edition, I have continued to produce a practical reference for the mechanical engineer who is seeking to answer a question, solve a problem, reduce a cost, or improve a system or facility. The handbook is not a research monograph. Its chapters offer design techniques, illustrate successful applications, or provide guidelines to improving performance, life expectancy, effectiveness, or usefulness of parts, assemblies, and systems.The purpose is to show readers what options are available in a particular situation and which option they might choose to solve problems at hand.
The aim of this handbook is to serve as a source of practical advice to readers. I hope that the handbook will be the first information resource a practicing engineer consults when faced with a new problem or opportunity… In each chapter, the reader should feel that he or she is in the hands of an experienced consultant who is providing sensible advice that can lead to beneficial action and results.”
